FE-1
« on: April 17, 2013, 02:59:06 PM »
Find the general solution of the differential equation
\begin{equation*}
y' +y \tan x =\sin (x)
\end{equation*}
and solve the initial value problem $y(0) = 1$.

find integrating factor: u=exp(integral tanxdx)=sec x


secx y= integral (tan x)= - ln (cosx) +C

y=-cosx(ln cosx) + C cosx

y(0)=1 => C=1

y=-cosx(ln cosx) + cosx
